Bernie Won 50 out of 62 Counties in New York!

[amborin]

[FarPoint]

1. Yet...he lost NY.

It's all good, as tomorrow is another day.

[workinclasszero]

2. Voters vs acres

Hint: The winner gets the most voters!

[boston bean]

6. Such an obscure concept! LOL

[DemocracyDirect]

11. Actually it's delegates.

But what you mean to say is the winner gets the most votes...

... but votes and voters are not always the same thing.

[bkkyosemite]

28. And in this election votes are not always from voters.

[AgerolanAmerican]

77. and voters too often aren't getting to cast votes

[Surya Gayatri]

39. Yeah, just like he won every county in WY except Cheyenne and Laramie.

What don't they understand about population density? Not rocket science!

[workinclasszero]

45. It is rocket science when you are backing a loser

Just sayin

[baldguy]

63. Just like the idea that there was a due date last October for party registration.

If they wanted to vote in the primary in the far-off unimaginable future of 6 months later, they had to get off their butts and do it.

[leftynyc]

66. If you want to pretend

the rules were changed just to screw Bernie, put on your tin foil hat and say it.

[grossproffit]

3. Pity that grass can't vote.

[KittyWampus]

5. And deer, oh wait...

Sanders is more likely to support guns...

[amborin]

14. hillary takes $$$$ from NRA lobbyists & sells weapons to human rights violating nations

[NCjack]

30. When she was SoS, she was the biggest arms dealer in the world. /nt

[all american girl]

79. Because that is part of states job...Kerry is doing the same thing.

[NCjack]

80. I seem to recall that Canada got out of the arms manufacturing and

sales business in the 1960s. So, it can be done. What the SoS does is disgusting. As bad as the NRA is, this is infinitely worse. What did she do to get US SoS out of doing that?

[Surya Gayatri]

40. Or, those herds of wild antelope out there in wild, wide-open Wyoming. LOL!

[Armstead]

17. High indignation over "deep south" comments -- but throw rural America to the wolves?

[Zynx]

21. The indignation is about how Sanders and his supporters dismiss millions of voters.

The diss about these small rural counties is that they just don't have very many voters so the aggregate count of arbitrary geographical divisions just isn't that relevant to the process. Yes, he does well with the rural demographic, but there just aren't that many votes out there.

[Armstead]

23. There are a lot of people and communities out here

[snooper2]

41. I didn't get to vote!

[workinclasszero]

46. LOLOLOL!

[Armstead]

71. Snide

[amborin]

49. exactly! and not so rural, too! huge swaths of northern and western NY are urban, industrial;

[Adrahil]

83. Not at all....

But I could not care less how many counties he won. It's like the GOP crowing about how many counties THEY win in the GE. People vote, not square footage.

[Armstead]

85. Acreage?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1790241

[Adrahil]

86. Precisely. Those PEOPLE vote. Not their counties.

It just so happens that more actual PEOPLE voted for Hillary Clinton last night. The votes of the people who voted for Sanders still matter, of course. There were just fewer of them, and their candidate lost.

[dsc]

89. the deserve their vote to count the same as anyone else's

not more. He lost because he got fewer votes. He lost more CD because she won the areas that have more CD.

[bkkyosemite]

31. What the hell does that stupid picture of bernie transposed on a religious figure represent.

[amborin]

50. it's an anti Semitic and very abhorrant emblem of the other campaign

[grossproffit]

52. It's most certainly not.

[amborin]

67. it is; please educate yourself; it's been explained at length; just another reprehensible move by...

[leftynyc]

69. Anti-semitic?

How?

[Seeinghope]

87. Oh wait, isn't that how Hillary got delegate when Bernie won the popular vote? You don't respect

the primary rules that have been in place for decades? That is what we faced in other primaries.suck it up?

[SidDithers]

4. Hillary's gain was +31 delegates...

Ooops.

Sid

[apcalc]

61. 33 , with 2 more to be awarded

[SidDithers]

81. I've become a big fan of The Green Papers...

they've been really good, as far as I can tell, about accurately tracking delegate allocation.

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/NY-D

Sid

[Onlooker]

7. Actually, Trump won most of the counties Bernie is said to have won

If you look at the results on Huffington Post, it appears that Trump scored more votes than him or Hillary in many, if not most of those counties. On the other hand, in the counties Hillary won, she beat everyone, including Trump.

[JaneyVee]

8. This is a Repub tactic. Cows and salmon dont vote.

Voters do.

[workinclasszero]

10. Yet another thing borrowed from angry white republican tea baggers

When will they learn? SMDH

[amborin]

15. interesting to hear Clinton supporters are dismissing 700,000 voters as "grass"

[Armstead]

19. Throw rural l America to the wolves?

[CrowCityDem]

9. Yes, he won counties where only 2,000 people voted. Huzzah!

[Codeine]

12. So much epic fail.

You guys are comedy gold. 31 net delegates because Deer Don't Vote.

[Seeinghope]

90. Didn't Clinton like all of those acres! You can't brainwash them but you can use them for fracking!

[Codeine]

91. Wharrgarbl!!!

/revision/latest?cb=20081110024602

[Zynx]

13. Way to argue like a Republican.

Oh, we won a shit ton of counties with about 18 people a piece in them!

Get a life. You lost. It's over.

[desmiller]

42. Just like hillary won more delegates than Bernie when he won a state.

You have been selected to be part of my naughty delegates. Congrats!!!.

[seabeyond]

16. Sanders got his ass kicked.

[workinclasszero]

18. This bears repeating...

Sanders got his ass kicked.

[bkkyosemite]

33. Oh and she didn't get her ass kicked in several states before corrupt NY?

[workinclasszero]

43. She won more votes in New York

Than all those cute little victories of bernie's in lily white small population states combined!

[amborin]

64. Wow! dissing PoC in WA, HI, CO, etc!

[Merryland]

54. nice way to herd up the bernie supporters when you need them...

I have a suspicion that herd will be heading in another direction by then - not sure what, but keep up the good vibes!

[Codeine]

22. And once more for the cool kids in the rear seats

SANDERS GOT HIS ASS KICKED!

[seabeyond]

25. Ah ha. Too true. Nt

[bkkyosemite]

34. And she got her ass kicked in several states before the rigged state of NY

[Codeine]

37. He won some battles, she won the war. nt

[Merryland]

58. Actually, the cool kids are going for Bernie

and it ain't over till it's fucking over.

[Codeine]

60. It's all over.

It's just proceduralsims and formalities from here on out.

[amborin]

68. for the Democratic party

it's finished

[amborin]

51. Obama lost by a much bigger margin in 2008

[seabeyond]

62. He wasn't losing every state but heavy white, small states at this point either. Sanders got his ass

kicked

[Codeine]

20. Sanders only wins red counties that will never

go blue in the general election, if I may paraphrase a favorite 'bro argument.

[northernsouthern]

29. Remind me again about my state?

How often has Washington gone Red? It has more to do with hotter turn out, Clinton only wins states that can repress voters like most other republican candidates.

[Codeine]

35. Ha!! What was the percentage of voter turnout

in your goofy little caucus again?

[northernsouthern]

38. Statically

Almost as high as with Obama. But you knew that when you were just moving your goal post.

[RBInMaine]

44. That is ridiculous nonsense that doesn't come close to reality.

[northernsouthern]

47. What is?

How often has Washington gone Red? It has more to do with hotter turn out, Clinton only wins states that can repress voters like most other republican candidates.

If you are responding to this post, please point out which part.

[amborin]

53. totally false post from total ignorance of New York state;

[HillareeeHillaraah]

24. Let's go over it again...

There are 27 congressional districts in NY.

He won 6. She won 21.

Congressional districts are, generally, population centric lines drawn.

Counties are, generally, land boundary lines.

If trees could vote, he woulda killed it last night.

Delegates are awarded by population votes not acreage won.

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. "If trees could vote, he woulda killed it last night." Funniest line I've seen today.

Very, very good.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

36. Well, when you get lobbed a softball....

[Seeinghope]

92. Can't the Independents vote Democrat in the General?

[Agnosticsherbet]

93. Of course they can, but the General has a different purpose.

Primaries are for a Party to choose its candidate. Rules are set by parties in each state.
The General Election is to choose a government from the options available.

The freedom to join, leave, or not join a party is protected by the Constitution under the 14th amendment. Right of Association People are free not to join a party, but the party can also set the rules about choosing its standard bearer.

To sum up: The primary and general have different purposes. Freedom of Association under the 14th amendment grants parties the right to choose their standard bearer.

It is really that simple.

[Codeine]

32. The superdelegates always go to the person

who carries the most square feet.

Right? These poor folks have nothing but empty talking points and a 250 delegate hole out of which to climb.

[amborin]

55. who pays the biggest bribe?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511628221

[northernsouthern]

26. Well that is messed up...

...but Hillary has gained in several states using this same thing so I guess it is a goose gander thing.

[WI_DEM]

48. And he still lost by about the same margin that Obama lost to HRC in 08

nearly 300,000 votes.

[amborin]

56. exactly! and against the entire MSM shilling for Hillary

[brooklynite]

57. Here's the breakout of candidate performance by Congressional District

Clinton won 21 out of 27 CDs

Personally, I'd be embarrassed to post such a naive feel-good meme.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

59. LOL

[leftynyc]

65. Unless cows can vote

your post is completely meaningless. Bernie LOST. Suck it up and move on.

[amborin]

72. HRC would need those cows, if she got the nomination; she'll never win the GE

[leftynyc]

75. Hillary would need cows?

Kinda early to be stoned, isn't it?

[KingFlorez]

70. That's what Republicans said about Romney

A little thing called population density actually does mean something.

[amborin]

73. 700,000 plus voters you are dismissing

[KingFlorez]

74. And?

Counties won means nothing, it's about how many votes you win and New York happens to have an electorate that is densely packed into a few counties.

[HockeyMom]

78. My daughter did say that

in the parking lot where she voted on Long Island there were far more Bernie Bumper Stickers on cars than for Hillary.

[dsc]

82. someone needs to retake basic math

New York has 27 districts she won way over half. 12 are in NYC and another 3 or 4 are in the suburbs. She also won Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester all of which are bigger cities upstate.

[Godhumor]

84. Except her margin can be no lower than +31 at this point

Still, nice try.

[NorthCarolina]

88. Hillary won where millions of voters were disinfranchised though. That

counts for a win apparently.

[tritsofme]

94. LOL, I'm sure Presidents McCain and Romney will be happy to hear about this county rule!

How silly and sad the Berners have gotten.

[ViseGrip]

95. Best thing to happen is for DWS to lose her seat to Canova.
